In addition to the release of the new Yes LP ‘Heaven & Earth’ on July 21st, this summer also sees another Yes-related disc hit the market.
It’s the turn of the sole album by Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe to receive the 2CD deluxe treatment. In 1989, the four (then) ex-Yes men teamed up with bassist Tony Levin to record new music. The resultant album was very well received on both sides of the Atlantic.
Death metal merchants Decapitated will unleash a new album at the end of the summer. The beginning of the year ensured a busy calendar for the Polish band when they supported Lamb of God on their European tour and the new album will only help maintain their current profile.
As part of the promotion for their 2013 studio release, the double LP ‘From The Ages’, power rockers Earthless are taking to the road for a good chunk of the rest of 2014. Among the confirmed dates is an appearance at London’s legendary Dingwalls in Camden.
Punk ‘n’ roll legends Supersuckers are in the midst of a very long run of live dates. August looks like a very busy month for Eddie and co, with the band visiting various US cities and taking very few days off. All confirmed shows are listed below.
There are no plans for the band to hit Europe at this time.
The mid 90s was a time when rap-metal reigned. No matter how genre-crossing acts sprang up (usually from the US), the alternative record buying public clamoured for more. For the huge amount of (sometimes deserved) column inches afforded to Rage Against The Machine or Limp Bizkit, so many other bands worked just as hard on the fringes – Snot would have been bigger than everyone if not victims of tragic circumstance, while bands like Shuvel and Reveille now seem all but forgotten, but were as good as any.
